Problem Identification
South Florida including Monroe County and the Florida Keys, continues to have the unfortunate
distinction of as a high-intensity drug trafficking area and,as such, is a leading illicit drug
importation area.This has Increased the availability of illicit drugs in Monroe County resulting in
drug abuse rates higher than both the state and national averages. Specifically in regards to the
female population of Monroe County which is the population of focus for this grant request,the
latest Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Survey compiled by the Florida Department of Health
reports rates of drug involvement as over twice that of the state average and four times of the
much larger Miami-Dade County to the north. The Agency for Healthcare Administration in its
Emergency Department and Inpatient Hospitalization Data of 2011 publication indicates that
female residents of our county had over twice the state rate per 100,000 populations for
emergency room treatment for acute drug intoxication. In addition, Monroe has over twice the state
average fer DUI arrests and, consequently, almost three times the state average for vehicular
deaths involving drug use. For women with children,statistics from the Florida Department of
Children and Families indicate that 57%of foster care placements were as a result of substance
abuse by the mother between April 2011 and March 2012.
For many drug involved women, the obsession surrounding use and attainment of illicit and legal
drugs of abuse often lead to legal involvement,criminal conduct, neglect of family and self,and
ultimately incarceration. In addition; destruction of parent-child relationships, increased domestic
violence, increased crime,child abuse and neglect, foster care placement,divorce, stress on the
legal and medical systems of a county with very limited resources and global negative effects on
our communities and quality of life are also directly affected. Recognizing the significant need for
appropriate treatment among greater numbers of incarcerated women whose level of drug
involvement is such that they would not benefit from available outpatient treatment and who are
often primary caretakers of children, the Guidance/Care Center along with the Monroe County
Sheriffs office created the Jail Incarceration Drug Treatment Program located within the Monroe
County Detention Center in 1992. It remains today as one of the few such programs operated
within a county jail in Florida and the only opportunity for women to receive intensive drug abuse
treatment within Monroe County. Moreover, these women are able to get treatment quickly
instead of being one of the 66%of substance abusing Florida residents who desire help but are
unable to access treatment due to Florida's lengthy waiting list for substance abuse services as
reported by the Florida Department of Children and Families.This program has been able to
attain and maintain a very low recidivism rate(under 25%)for women participants in the last 5
years with the addition of evidenced-based practices and special attention to the unique needs of
substance abusing women.The program has a very close relationship with county judges,
attorneys,and the administration and staff of the Monroe County Detention Center as well as city
and county authorities.Women who complete treatment are often granted early release from
incarceration to return to their families and begin rebuilding their lives and the

lives of their loved ones thereby saving the county the expense of their continued detainment.
Skills attained within the context of treatment increases the chances of sustained recovery,
healthier family and other personal relationships, healthier children, and safer communities.
Project Summary (Scope of Work)
In 1992,the Jail In-House Program(JIP), as it was initially named,was developed in the Monroe
County Detention Center and began providing substance abuse treatment services to county
inmates to lay the foundation for sustained recovery. The majority of clients are court ordered by
the Drug Court, Circuit Court and County Court Judges in Monroe County.The rest enter the
program as volunteers who have met the criteria for drug and alcohol treatment and will be in the
county jail a minimum of 182 days. The program has established a positive reputation county
wide,working closely with Judges, prosecutors and defense attorneys throughout the county.
DCF audits for the past three years reported that this program meets or exceeds Best Practice
standards with 100% compliance.This year's funding will allow services begun with last year's
grant to continue for this population in the detention center.
In May 2010, the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitative Facilities(CARF)evaluated the
JIP program for accreditation.The process of accreditation has strengthened assessment and
treatment. The program has received renewed three year accreditation in June 2013. The Jail
Incarceration Program met the highest CARF standards and received recognition for its positive
relationships between correctional staff and treatment/clinical staff.The agency has submitted its
2014 Annual Conformance to Quality Reports to CARF and continues to meet the highest
accreditation standards. -
Client-centered individualized treatment plans tailored to the needs of women are a cornerstone
of gender responsive treatment. After developing these plans in partnership with the program
participant,treatment plan reviews, case management services to provide community linkages
and monthly self-reports of progress continue to refine the plan. On-going program review occurs
through monthly focus groups with administrative staff and participants.The Global Assessment
of Individual Needs (GAIN)Instrument provides a comprehensive assessment of client needs and
assists in developing a person-centered Wellness Plan that is updated with the participant every
30 days.Admission policies are welcoming to individuals with co-occurring disorders,learning
disabilities and illiteracy, as well as other special individualized needs.This allows access for all
who probably otherwise would not receive services.
For women with a mental illness as well as drug addiction, a Mental Health Status Assessment
identifies impairments in functioning. If identified as having a possible mental health issue, the
client receives a referral to a mental health counselor and the Prison Health Services psychiatrist
as well as participating in services to address the substance use disorder and criminal thinking
and behavior. Treatment of mental illness is monitored by program staff as a vital part of recovery
from substance abuse. Participants are given appointments with the Guidance/Care Center
psychiatrist upon completion of the program and release from incarceration and assigned a case
manager to help them with appointments,treatment adherence, accessing of community services
and medication assistance. Psychotropic medications are provided free of charge to participants
who cannot afford their medications or who do not have insurance coverage.The case manager
helps the client Medicaid or Affordable Health Care upon discharge from the program.
Treatment in the program is a minimum of six months and a maximum of one year.Aftercare

months once the participant is released.The Guidance/Care Center provides aftercare throughout
the Florida Keys in community-based facilities.Aftercare is given priority and participants are
enrolled before they are released.These services are not funded by the grant and are available to
all participants regardless of ability to pay.
The program staff in conjunction with the corrections staff conducts random drug testing and
positive tests result in 30-day lock-up lock-up and a return to court for judicial review of the case.
Tests used,l0 panel dip sticks for amphetamine, benzodiazepines,cocaine,opiates,synthetic
opiates, THC, PCP, barbiturates, MDMA and methadone.The program also has a relationship
with the local drug court to run tests on their spectrometry machine if test results are questionable
which helps to identify those who may have attempted to be dishonest by trying to mask the
results.
The Guidance/Care Center employs all program staff and has a forty year history of providing
substance abuse counseling and mental health services. The core program services less than 30
women for the one-year grant period.Administrative support to conduct regular case services,
staffing,provide services,collect and report data,and monitor program outcomes will occur.
Program services will be delivered using several evidence based practices including a
Cogitative Behavioral Therapy(CBT)curriculum entitled"Substance Abuse and Criminal Conduct:
Strategies for Self Improvement and Change-Pathways to Responsible Living"authored by
Harvey Milkman and Kenneth Wanberg.Throughout the treatment episode participants use a
client workbook that belongs to them. Use of this workbook is subject to change as more
advanced evidenced-based treatment resources become available.Additionally, Moral
Reconation Therapy, another systematic treatment strategy that seeks to decrease recidivism
among criminal offenders by increasing moral reasoning is included. Treatment in the correctional
setting will incorporate trauma-informed and gender responsive treatment through the use of the
evidenced-based "Seeking Safety"treatment model to promote the healing and edification of the
human spirit. Seeking Safety offers 25 treatment topics, each with a clinician guide and client
handouts.The seven interpersonal topics are Asking for Help, Honesty, Setting Boundaries in
Relationships, Healthy Relationships,Community Resources, Healing from Anger,and Getting
Others to Support Your Recovery. The seven behavioral topics are Detaching from Emotional
Pain: Grounding,Taking Good Care of Yourself,Red and Green Flags, Commitment,Coping with
Triggers, Respecting Your Time,and Self-Nurturihg.The seven cognitive topics are PTSD:Taking
Back Your Power, Compassion,When Substances Control You, Recovery Thinking, Integrating
the Split Self, Creating Meaning,and Discovery. In addition, four combination topics are
Introduction to Treatment I Case Management, Safety,The Life Choices Game(Review)and
Termination. These relational models supped the development of healthy relationships with self,
significant others, and the community at large in order to reduce the risk of relapse and recidivism.
Staff will use individual and group formats to deliver core services. As participants move through
the program, they will learn to facilitate group gatherings for such activities as morning
affirmations, positive,acknowledgement and recognition, positive slip groups where participants
share experiences of"catching"each other in random acts of kindness and evening gratitude
wrap ups. Use of these 4 evidence based practices will result in 28 women successfully
completing the program with less than a 25% rate of recidivism in the future.

BY MONROE COUNTY.
WHEREAS Monroe County has been impacted by recent legislature and the subsequent need to significantly cut budgets;and
WHEREAS,it is our desire to continue to provide outstanding public service responsive
to the needs of our citizens, community, and environment despite the impact of these budget
cuts;and
WHEREAS, currently, the Board must approve all applications for grants prior to
submission, which can cause a delay of up to six weeks, at times delaying the grant application
until the next submission cycle,as well as adding unnecessarily to the Board agenda;and
WHEREAS it is unnecessary to delay acceptance of grants awarded to the County that
do not requite any matching funds,again adding unnecessarily to the Board agenda;and
WHEREAS, our heightened focus on pursuing a wider variety of grant opportunities
requires improved coordination between Divisions and will result in a significantly increased
number of grant applications;now,therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF
MONROE COUNTY,FLORIDA, HEREBY:
I. Directs Division staff to coordinate grant opportunity research and application
submission with the Project Manager to the County Administrator.

criteria, and to execute related documents.
